Jayhinton Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You realise that 90% of your real footballing knowledge has in fact come from FM.

AndyKane67 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 When you're sitting half-way through a crucial exam that could get you to uni or not, and your mind slips away to working out who to play in the upcoming game against Inverness prior to a UEFA Cup game against Fenerbahce. You try to focus on German nationalism in the 1850s, but deep down you're trying to work out whether it'd be best to rest your German right-back and get him to full fitness for the Fener game or risk it as you're chasing Rangers in first anyway and your other right back should be good enough in Europe.

TopToffee Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 When you sign Titus Bramble, make him your captain, and after his first start the media criticizes his start and you say "I am sure that he will get used to our system" then you use an editor to max out his stats and sell him to your rival for 120M then you reset them once he has left. I wonder if you could copy him and make an entire squad of Titus Brambles....Bramble FC is the future!A whole squad of Titus', Its called Newcastle United aint it? that doesn't mean you're addicted - that just means you're rubbish.

giblets_of_fire Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 When you hear a Commentator describe a player as a hot prospect and you sit back smugly thinking, i allready knew that. Happened to me when Jose Baxter made his debut for Everton this season Also when you start treating FM as prefect, and believing that the real world is merely a reflection of what FM says should happen. When you are pleased to see a player playing for a non-league club because he tormented your team on a previous version of FM. Nathan Jarman always scored against me on FM07 for Wolves so i was very pleased to see him playing i think in the Blue square south.

I'll give you credit for Uche, but Baxter was my prodigy in that Spurs game, him and Adriano were deadly and you cant deny it. Even if i give you Baxter my list is huge: Lulinha, Matias Feranadez, Veloso, juan Arango, and thats just for starters!

Kurtis Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You play it pretty much every day since you were 11. You are now 23. Lmao! you wake up at 8am to write an essay and then find 3 hours later you still haven't added a word. But at least I'm 3 months down the line on my file Gosh, the amount of times i've done that. You lose a game & you say to yourself, "I'm not playing this anymore! The games are fixed!". Yet the next day you load it up and carry on playing. So trueeee. You have a 1 year old daughter and can't remember her name. But you do consider signing her to a pre-contract deal anyway. That made me laugh out loud for a good 5 minutes. Ya know when your addicted when you get called for dinner but can't be assed to move, so you pay your younger sibling to bring you your dinner and then feed you whilst you shout neemingless tactics at your squad... even though there not playing.

Some of the posts on here are so true, it makes me laugh so much that other people are exactly the same! The one about saying 30 more mins at 11pm and then still be on the game at 4am is spot on, how many times have i done that! And at that stage you are so wired/focussed it is difficult to stop. And as I am now married i never get any time to play FM.....she can spend the evening straightening her hair or sorting her clothes upstairs (which gives me a bit of time to watch footy higlights on tv from 3 weeks ago), but if i turn round and say i am going next door for 3hours peace and quiet for FM, i am accused of deserting her and leaving her bored! And i totally agree with the post about the partner/girlfriend going away for a weekend.....yes it is a shame but the thought of 2 days of pure FM is like winning the lotto....conversely when she comes home on the Friday and says she has changed plans and isnt going after all......well to try and hide my disappointment is almost impossible! Oh and sorry one last one........does anyone get it in the neck from the wife/girlfriend that i can go to bed at 10pm tired and fall asleep straight away and yet if i was left the option of playing FM i would be awake all night....how do i get out of that one!!!!?
